Noreen
My spiritual guide would make me sleep
Noreen is taking my spirit deep
of days we listen to the rain
while she takes away my pain
Held in her arms under a star
wishing she could take me far
together she would heal my brain
while she takes away my pain
Upon our passions we would ride
and never would she leave my side
holistic woman keeps me sane
while she takes away my pain
My spiritual guide would make me sleep
while she takes away my pain.
A Kyrielle Sonnet consists of 14 lines (three rhyming quatrain stanzas and a non-rhyming couplet). Just like the traditional Kyrielle poem, the Kyrielle Sonnet also has a repeating line or phrase as a refrain (usually appearing as the last line of each stanza). Each line within the Kyrielle Sonnet consists of only eight syllables. French poetry forms have a tendency to link back to the beginning of the poem, so common practice is to use the first and last line of the first quatrain as the ending couplet. This would also re-enforce the refrain within the poem. Therefore, a good rhyming scheme
for a Kyrielle Sonnet would be:
AabB, ccbB, ddbB, AB -or- AbaB, cbcB, dbdB, AB.
